“Panama Papers” have possible implications for Guyana

“Panama Papers” leak may have possible implications for Guyana

Apparently, the leaked records show that Gunnlaugsson co-owned a company set up in 2007 on the Caribbean island of Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands, to hold investments with his wealthy partner whom he later married.

There are possible ramifications for Caribbean countries as well. The Panama Papers reported that the law firm has over 3000 clients in the US and 9000 in the United Kingdom, in addition to other countries. The paper showed a map which highlighted the different clientele countries, with Guyana being significantly highlighted, along with Venezuela, Brazil and other South American countries.

It is too early, however, to tell if any of the information that was leaked has relevance to Guyana since out of the 11.5 million documents only 154 are in the public domain.

i dont know whats so wrong about an off shore account


i should be able to bank where ever i want

The selective leaks from the so called Panama papers had but one intention and that was to embarrass Vladamir Putin . It is not a co incidence that his  photo was featured prominently on the news release but nowhere did they connect him to offshore accounts
They are trying to influence the upcoming  Russia elections but it is not working. \ Is it a coincidence that Americans are not featured here?. No corruption there?
The chinese Govt newspaper , "South China morning dispatch'' said the  same and no Chinese publication are allowed to publish these Panama  papers because of the anti Putin slant

One of its clients played a crucial role in the Watergate scandal.

Another was convicted for the torture and murder of a US drug enforcement agent.

Offshore companies aren't illegal—not inherently, anyway. But using them to hide assets from

tax authorities, thwart investigations, and protect criminals is.
